Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.

I struggle with trying to be a good pastor of a large church.

Are you on the eve of change? Embrace it. Accept it. Don't resist it. Change is not only a part of life, change is a necessary part of God's strategy. To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.

God knows what it's like to be a human. When I talk to him about deadlines or long lines or tough times, he understands. He's been there. He's been here.

It's okay to rest. Jesus fights when you cannot.

There's something about compassion that causes society to say, 'We're going to take this person seriously.' Take Mother Teresa. She was confrontational on abortion, but she wasn't rejected by society.

There was a time I wanted to go into politics. And so all of a sudden, here I am, I guess. I'm in the thick of it.
